(About Our Ads) DVD REVIEW FOR " IN THE LINE OF FIRE " (1993) (Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich) (R) Length Screen Format(s) Languages Subtitles Sound Sides 127 minutes Letterbox (2.35:1) 16x9 - Widescreen English, French Spanish, Portuguese English, French Spanish, Portuguese Chinese, Korean, Thai Dolby Digital 5.1 1 Plot: Haunted by his failure to prevent JFK's assassination, a seasoned Secret Service agent tries to stop a psychopath from killing the current President. (Parental Review not available). AUDIO/VIDEO ELEMENTS: Beyond some of the characters' flesh tones appearing a bit warm (particularly - and oddly - occurring mainly in the indoor scenes) and a few instances of digital artifacts in certain parts of the picture in a few scenes, the picture quality here is superb. The image is consistently sharp and notwithstanding those occasional warm faces, the color reproduction is solid. Regarding the disc's aural presentation, the action/thriller score sounds great (as do the moments with Eastwood at the piano), while there are plenty of standard and spatial effects (motorcycles passing by, gunshots, storm sound, etc.) to keep things interesting from a sonic perspective. EXTRAS: Scene selection/Jump to any scene (with moving images). Running audio commentary by director Wolfgang Petersen. "The Ultimate Sacrifice" - 22 minute featurette of the cast, crew and outside specialists talking about the film, its story and the making of the production (includes scenes from the film and behind the scenes footage). "Catching the Counterfeiters" - 5 minute feature about doing just that with interviews with various Secret Service agents/representatives. 5 Deleted Scenes. "How'd They Do That" - 4 minute special about inserting the film's characters - via special effects - into real footage. "Behind the Scenes with the Secret Service" - 20 minute featurette about the Secret Service and its role and representation in the making of this film. Brief biographies and filmographies for the director and several cast members. Theatrical trailers for this film, "Air Force One" and "Das Boot." 5 minutes of TV spots. COMMENTS: Coming Soon.
